Summary on Aucu Gold - Central Asia

In a recent announcement (ASX announcement April 21, 2017) White Cliff Minerals reported a new JORC compliant inferred resource for the Aucu gold deposit, using a lower cut-off grade of 1 g/t gold, of 1.8 million tonnes grading 5.2 g/t gold, for 302,000 ounces of contained gold. The new resource represents a 93% increase in contained gold ounces and a 23% increase in average grade over the previous gold resource reported in April 2015.

Importantly the new resource contains a very high grade zone (Quartz Zone) of 244,000 tonnes at 9.5 g/t gold containing 75,000 ounces of gold, which starts at surface. Surface extensions of the high grade Quartz Zone have been identified and will be drilled in the coming field season.

This latest resource estimate also identified a new inferred copper resource, using a lower cut of grade of 0.25% copper, of 608,000 tonnes at 0.64% copper, containing 3,870 tonnes of copper.
